One of the Best Food Tours Ever! - We take food tours every time we visit our new city, so we have done them all over the world. This tour with Kevin is one of the absolute best we have ever taken, probably in the top 2! He went above and beyond, extending the tour to keep showing us new things. It was our first night in Osaka, so the tour also grounded us in the neighborhood and gave us some targets for further exploration.

Wonderful night out that’s well worth the money - Kevin was an amazing guide! Very much worth the money :) it was super fun to experience the night life in Osaka properly and try things I wouldn’t normally (especially being a fussy eater) even so Kevin was super accommodating and made sure to order me food I’m comfortable with.

We had a blast! - I was traveling with my daughter and booked this tour because I thought it would add some variety to our trip. It delivered! Danick, our guide, was warm, funny and so accommodating. There were a total of six of us (including Danick) so it made for a friendly evening of great food and hilarious conversation. Seeing the backstreets and night life of Osaka was an amazing experience I never could have had without a guide. The shops, the lights, the canals, the music - the place was a total party atmosphere unlike any I've ever experienced. The food was delicious and varied and the people were a delight. We made a memory for a lifetime!

It was okay - I feel like this was overpriced to be honest. We went to 4 spots -- 2 restaurants and 2 bars -- and had a drink in each. At the first restaurant we each had an okonomiyaki (Osaka pancake) and at the second we had kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers). I had a nice time exploring these spots but given the price I was expecting more food.
